I remember buying a new '66 Mustang & paid $2000 and change. My Daddy told me anybody who paid over $2k for a car ought the have his head examined, his tail kicked, and be "put away" for his own protection & the protection to the public. He later bought a USED Eldorado for over $2K. LOL! I reminded him of what he said. LOL

I was in Canada on the way to PEI when I dropped a hole in my '68 Diamond Reo, 318 & a 15 speed double over. They towed me 200 miles to Halifax, Nova Scotia, put Dad & I up in a hotel, replaced 4 holes, with all the other things your have to do, & the entire bill was less than $600.

On the other hand, I bought an MCI conversion for $X. I put another $2X in it. I sold it for 1/10 $X.

MTU/Detroit Diesel just lowered prices on all two-stroke parts and is looking for all the cores for the reman center. They are going back in the two-stroke business. If your intrested. This from the big wigs at the work boat show.

Don, that "sounds" like good news for all of us. Does that mean the $4600 Clifford mentioned will now be closer to the $2000 for liners?

Just how many DD 8v92 engines ARE there for sale in Huntsville Alabama? I imagine some big DD rebuilder outfit will just buy them all for cores? Or..is is possible there may be a few diamonds among the chinkers? Dunno. I do wonder what an example will $sell$ for. HB of CJ (old coot)

Buy a set of pistons and liners for the 60 series in your bus from DD lol you can rebuild a 8v92 cheaper than you can a 60 series I just bought a set of new injectors for a 14L series 60 not rebuilt at WW Williams today for $7810.38 with no core charge parts are not cheap for any diesel engine

I have no idea what genuine DD liners would cost for a Series 60 either. I know I have seen complete third party rebuild kits with liners for the Series 60 pretty cheap, but who knows if they are any good. I haven't paid attention to manufacturer names as I am not in the market for a rebuild kit.

Tom, I don't know how far the discounts will go, I was told by the director of sales that Tognum group finialy realized they made a mistake on the two-stroke engines and were going to get the business beak.

Is there anybody in the Huntsvile area that would go over and look at those engines for me.
